I don't feel like PM'ing you but i have a couple of questions.....why? & what was you thinking to think you wouldn't get found out?
If you're asking why I realized lieing is not the way to do things, it's because of my deserved hatred I got for lieing. All it did was give me problems.
If you're asking why I exageratted by week long CF hospital stay into a lung transplant, I honeslty just liked the attention.
As for why I thought I wouldn't get found out: I am not smart. I thought I'd be able to come up with an excuse out of anything, which obviously did not end up being the case.
All of you thinking he'll do it again are pretty retarded.
How the hell could he possibly pull that off. There isn't a single person going to believe him even if he tried and mods would likely shut him down in minutes.
It's just impossible, current account or not.
He didn't have to reveal his real, current situation, nor apologize to us after all this. He was banned. He chose to come back and at least explain things.
Overall I think this is a pretty shitty situation, obviously. It was a really sad and pathetic thing to do, no matter the situation.
But you are a pretty terrible liar, so honestly figuring out that it was a lie wasn't that difficult once the miracles started chaining.
I'd say I forgive you. But I wasn't very attached to the thread in the first place. I kept up on the updates, but the more time progressed the more obvious things became.
I do feel sorry for all the people who were very emotionally attached to the whole thing. But it's a good lesson. Compassion isn't a bad thing, but you still need to use your head and be careful. Don't just accept everything on blind faith.
I'm on the "There's no need to ban Xuphor" train. If Xuphor can stand being here with so many people radiating hatred, then that's fine. Go for it. It really doesn't affect me one way or the other.
As has been said, I agree that at the end of the day, this situation showed that we ARE a community. There's plenty to be proud about, showing this community really has compassion for its fellow members, even if we don't always get along.
Plenty of us are waiting for it but it'll never happen. He's too stubborn, or something snapped and he believes everything in his head. Whichever.

Indeed, I never got that much attached myself, but for those that did... Goddamn, that must feel shitty to them.
It did show that we did get along like a family like i said in my post. But to trample on all that, that's just mean...
But yeah bottom line is, do not instantly believe what u see on the internet.
You know what?
I'm usually quite a sceptical person. I was aware of the whole CF situation prior to this, so this course of events was something to expect, but I'd be lying (how about that?) if I said I didn't have at least some doubt in my mind as to what was really happening, especially when the necessary money conveniently became available and compatible lungs miraculously appeared. Because I'm aware of my inherent sceptical nature, I was willing to waive that side of me on this occasion, as the consequences would have been dire enough were they true to warrant taking it seriously now.
At least now I know that my universal scepticism was in this case absolutely warranted. Misleading people regarding your identity is one thing (still inadvisable) but using your condition and leading people to believe that you were in immediate and serious danger is just tremendously vile and utterly despicable. I do not take kindly to being lied to. Forgiveness is indeed a quality which everyone should strive to cultivate and I am generally a forgiving person, however, although I respect your confession, I cannot guarantee I will ever be able to fully extend it to you regarding this matter.
The website hosting the electronic card people signed was down for maintenance every time I attempted to access it, so as a result I never signed it. With this revelation I am now glad I did not. It's also fortunate that this was not a card which existed in any physical form either.
Because I would burn it.
My hearts are closed to you.

Thanks for calling us pretty retarded.
Since you are without a doubt a world class genius, do us a favour and learn about psychological disorders a little bit...
This was not a prank. He didn't want to reveal the truth, he just made many mistakes and couldn't cover it anymore. If he could, you would still be crying about "the poor girl"... Yeah, you geniuses who think he won't do anything again...
He won't try something like this with his current nickname, but he will try other things, and of course he can always use new nicknames as well...
The thing he did, is just sick. Decent normal people don't do things like this.
If you think he really feels sorry about what he did, you are not only retarded, you are delusional...
I've been watching your thread since the beginning, and believed all of it. Until now. Even after I learned the truth, I don't feel angry or mad at all, just a little shocked. However it surprises me that someone would do this just for some attention.
I was fine with the money, i completely accepted the mysterious benefactor, it was the speed of the lungs being found & being a match when i first started hearing alarm bells.
Yet i still put my doubt to the back of my mind & put it down to perhaps lungs in the US are more readily available than the UK due to population (yeah i know pretty dumb, but i was really feeling for this girl facing death)
"He used us. Treated us like his playthings just for his amusement" is what you're thinking, right?
Him being a girl was another lie. He's a boy.
Wow, now people will start seeing him as an ungreatful little prick. Starting to give the cold shoulder. When he will really need help for his condition (if he still wants to live), barely no one will give him a helping hand due to the fear of being lied to.
There's something we humans have called IP addresses.
Even if he changes his, the location is the same. Some big event coming from a newbie is mighty suspicious, and after this, staff will be on the lookout.
Herpderp.
Not to mention in general, I doubt the community as a whole will just eat up situations like this with no proof again.
The situation may be total shit, but you're blowing it way out of proportion if you really think it's that bad. In the end, none of us lost anything except a bit of time, oh and respect for Xuphor.
You're treating this like Xuphor came to your house and beat your dog to death and then lied about it.
I'd consider myself a pretty emotional person, and yet i've walked out of this unscathed. Its not because i'm heartless, it's because i'm realistic.
Xuphor isn't some rabid beast, just an attention whore, and it seems like you're too emotionally distraught to think clearly. I'd suggest you take a breather and a break and come back with a clear head. You're the one who's delusional.
I don't think there was any intent to hurt. Doesn't seem like it at all. Xuphor wanted attention, and didn't think what his idiotic lie would turn into. He said it himself, he was very surprised he got as much attention as he did. The lie grew too big.
People have a reason to be mad, sure. I'm not even going to argue against that. People are entitled to be mad.
But my statement stands clear and true. Xuphor can never try something like this again, new account or not. It wont work, and yes, you're retarded if you think he could even try. He'd be shut down immediately.
I thought so too. But whenever I tell people not to use that word too often / lightly / nonchalantly... I get pretty much flamed. I think it was good that it was censored on the previous forum :/
I don't have a lot of posts, but I'm always lurking around here and was following the original thread, so my 2 cents..
No, xuphor, I don't hate you. I do feel sorry for your, that because of your attention addiction, you took all the good will, trust, and relationships you had built up here and cashed them all in for an attention-buzz. This thread will run its course, then it will all be gone.
For my turn at "amateur psychology hour" I would encourage you to look at the patterns in your life. Your coming out to your parents got you (negative) attention, just like this thread here. Low self-esteem (not liking how you look) is likely a condition you've latched on to because it gets others to affirm you (problem is saying that stuff to get attention eventually you believe and wind up trapped in not liking yourself which I assume has happened).
Bottom line is the issues in your life that you've made public stem from your attention addiction. If you choose to change, I'd bet that you can't on your own. You're in too deep at this point. You'll need help. For that, you'll need someone who will accept you for who you are, but will still tell you the stuff you don't want to hear, but also won't go to the extremes of fawning over you or being angry at you as that will feed the addiction (a tall order I know). I would suggest either professional help or possibly clergy (if you're willing and you can find one that fits the bill). Not to get religious on everyone (and I did read that you're agnostic), but turning it over to God is also a necessary first step, if you want free of this crap.

I feel the need to point out that this wasn't done just for attention; he used his twitter handle to blackmail devs into giving him beta invites, using his supposed medical condition and imminent death as an excuse.
EDIT: Also, you claim you that came out about your sexuality to your parents when you were 11. That's fine, but you also said that you came out as a furry. Were furries even a thing 11 years ago? Of course, given that you haven't lied about being 25.

Again, I hope for his sick that he's pretty damn serious about wanting to have a fresh start and let's be honest, no one, especially on the internet, is perfect. Granted, the prank that was pulled was pretty grievous and downright foolish, but if he really wants a second chance and IF he's serious about it, then he can make amends. Granted, it's not going to be easy to just start anew and expect forgiveness in a short period of time.
You clearly know nothing about mental health issues. It's opinions like that that stigmatise those with mental health issues.
And people thinking they are experts on things they google just irritates me.
Perhaps you should.
On topic: Everyone lies, if you say you don't, take a guess at what you are?
Lying very easily gets out of control and can lead to situations like this.
As for wanting attention, who doesn't like postive attention? Attention seeking is understandable behaviour, especially is the case of Xuphor with what he said in the first post.
My opinion has changed in only one way. I just thought Xuphor was a cool girl to talk to occasionally. Now only the gender of that has changed.
I wasn't emotionally invested, I went "Awww" at the situation. There was a little doubt (it's the internet...) but as no donations or anything was being asked for I had no reason to give them any thought.
He didn't ask money from you, steal money from you, burn your house down or beat up your mum. So chill out a little. I can understand people being angry about this who were emotional about it but... no need for hate. Once you've lied the best thing to do is to come clean and that happened.

Easily forgiven.
That's too hard even though they're christians. I honestly don't know what a furry is (even though I'm a brony o.O), but I think I might know.Either way, that's fucked up.
I have no life or "friends", but I have standards, I accept that I'll always be a 'weird freak'.
I can say that kinda I wish I was a female, that would make my life easier really, really, really easier.My social status would be great too. ;.;
Very sad.
You got that right, I have donation sources that would have probably gave you enough money.
I knew there was something different about it.
That may be true, but then again, rasist, thieves, gang members, and even homosexuals christians are not going to hell.
